The Human Condition, Existential Dread, & Intrusive Thoughts
05/14/24 • 51 min
Existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre famously said we are condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, we are responsible for everything we do. It has long been known that navigating the human condition is a scary challenge, and life long commitment to many. But are there better, or best ways to accept, cope or even embrace that source of anguish? Establishing meaning is different for everyone. As always, we hope this light, relatable, yet philosophical conversation between Jeff and Danielle LaSusa provides some helpful perspective that furthers your journey, helping to bring listeners clarity, understanding, and meaning.
